Open reduction nasal fracture?

Asked By:collegestudent378 in Cincinnati, OH

I consulted with a plastic surgeon to undergo a septoplasty with turbinate reduction, as well as "open reduction nasal fracture". Externally, my nose is slightly displaced to one side, so he said the ORNF would help that appear straighter- is that a fracturing of the bone or just the septum? If it is a breaking of the bone, would having minuscule dorsal hump removed at the same time be difficult/ time consuming (leading to large out of pocket expenses because its cosmetic)?
